Mitrovic out with a back injury i think we've seen the last of him in a NUFC shirt

I'm expecting a hiding today 4-0

Oops your right what a divvy i am

"The team is now just a point above the relegation zone and, according to those familiar with the discussions, PCP has estimated that Newcastle has a 65 per cent chance of relegation. Unless concessions are made soon, a deal may not be completed before the next transfer window closes in January, warned those familiar with the discussions, meaning that a new owner would need to wait until next season before investing in new players." Dont think so Quiffy me old mate

Would a £100 million relegation clause be a fair estimation ?. Also Rafa said today he's met with Charnley but wont know the transfer budget until Xmas.

Not as close as was first reported apparently the Chronicle are saying 65% of PCP (who ever they are) think the club might be relegated this eeason

According to what Sky Sports were reporting last night

If it doesn't happen now he'll put a massive spin on it, he'll be back on Sky Sports "they wanted me to gamble a£100 million on not going down. Now i like a flutter as you know but even that was too much for me" That way he paints Amanda & PCP as the bad guys he's an absolute b'stard i thought we eere going to be rid of him now im jot so sure.

The Michael Martin tweet got my attention first. But the Sky Sports running with the relegation clause still in place has got me thinking. If we were relegated ( i dont fancy it again) it would mean Amanda could potentially get the club for £200 million something the fat lad will never allow.

Some people suggesting the "relegation clause" could be worth nearly £100 million. That could be the shortfall of the tv revenue money £100 million in the Premiership as oppose to £5/6 million in the Championship.

If he fcuk's this up i think i'll cry

This tweet from Michael Martin It would appear yesterday's news splash about an imminent takeover was put about by Ashley's PR. It's miles off

Ah right lads my bad

We sold Krul shirley he was better than what we've got ?

I would blow the £30million on the best striker you could get for that amount of money. As the saying goes "Goals win games"

& score goals

Yeah thats it he loves the fans the fans love him but he doesnt fit in Rafa's scheme of things. The thing is he'll probably do very well somewhere else but he needs to be playing regular.

Mitro's not worth arguing over lads as i doubt we'll see him wear a black & white shirt again. When we first signed him i thought he was going to be ok he reminded me a bit of Duncan Ferguson big, robust not afraid to get stuck in. Obviously there's something about him that Rafa doesn't like about him.

We all know who the finger pointing should be done to, it's not Benitez . A couple of weeks ago he said "things could get worse" & they have. He knows & we should all realise he's been dealt a crap hand

He does see my previous post

Rafa: "One day it’s one thing, another day it’s another. "We have individual errors that are costing us points. "We have changed the team, the shape and players - and still we are losing so we have to take responsibility, starting with me and that’s it. "I have the same feeling that all the fans have. "The team started the game well and had chances, we were on top and had the game under control, then we made a mistake. "The way they were wasting time makes it even more difficult in this situation. We hit the crossbar and the post, we were unlucky, but still we are making mistakes that are costing us points. "The only thing you can take as a positive is our approach in the game and the performance of the players in the first half. "The negatives are the final result. It’s difficult to accept and understand. "We have to make sure the players aren’t down for too long because we must get ready for the next game.” Asked about the possible takeover: "I don't have any information. As I said the other day, I need to know how much money we will have for January as soon as possible, that's it. "But I don't have information about the takeover."

I think its now a pointless argument about Mitro playing now as i think within the next few weeks he'll be off somewhere else.

I'd be happier seeing Gayle/Mitro rather than Gayle/Diame it's never going to happen as i think Mitro will be gone in January. Btw just noticed Mitro never even made the bench

Mitro can't get a start can he ?
